lamia

pain and ugliness left

serpant but her words as though were bubbling honey

miserable me!
feels sorry for herself
alliteration

vanishest so i shall die
foreshadows his death

or breathing they found

asked it
doesnt even know her name

i can bare to die i cannot bare to leave her

lamia and lycius vs appolonious, rational and reason vs human experience and emotion (enlightement period vs romantisism)

lycius wanting a ceremony, their private love isnt enough wants to show off his wife

lamia wanting to ignore the reality of the relationship
lycius not seeing the truth about lamia, blinded by what he believes is love

nothing is ever enough

lamias beauty, sacrifices it “nothing but pain and ugliness left”

tends to throw in conflicting ideas without giving the audience an answer
keats depiction of women as a femme fatale

narrative poem
rhyming cuplets
epic poem
more controlled description and a firmer tone
